LOVE this newest poster for Gone Girl!

You bookish movie fans living in the big apple have all the fun. While David Fincher's Gone Girl will open the 52nd New York Film Festival this fall, the Film Society of Lincoln Center has announced that Paul Thomas Anderson’s Inherent Vice will make its world premiere as the Centerpiece gala selection on Saturday, October 4. That's more than two months before the rest of will be able to see Inherent Vice, slated to open in limited release on December 12th, expanding to the rest of the universe on January 9th, 2015. While Pynchon was involved with Prüfstand II, a German language 'documentary' loosely based on Gravity's Rainbow,Inherent Vice is the first feature film adaptation of a Thomas Pynchon novel. I've shared some images and news on the Inherent Vice movie here and here which stars Joaquin Phoenix and Josh Brolin, along with Reese Witherspoon, Benicio Del Toro, Owen Wilson, Martin Short, Jena Malone, Joanna Newsom and new face Katherine Waterston - the daughter of the great, gravelly-voiced actor, Sam Waterston.

Anderson is a favorite at the festival whose director and chair of the selection committee said about the writer/director -

“Every new Paul Thomas Anderson movie is an event, an experience -- when the lights come up, you feel like you’ve been somewhere, and come back with your mind altered. 'Inherent Vice' is a journey through the past, bringing the texture of the early 70s SoCal counterculture back to full blown life. It’s a wildly funny, deeply soulful, richly detailed, and altogether stunning movie."

I'm a little disgruntled that Inherent Vice, shot in SoCal, about SoCal, isn't premiering in SoCal!

The New York Film Festival runs from September 26-October 12, which makes it one of the preferred film tests for those making the march to award season.

Quick! Without googling, which famous television writer and actor's mother designed this poster for the New York Film Festival?

Updated 1/14/2019Congrats! You've just reached one of my most widely visited posts. I get it, lots of us want to hear what actors think about acting straight from their own lips. I've got a hunch if you find this post from 2013 interesting, you'll also find this year's more current video noteworthy too so I'm including it below. Cheers! Last Sunday I shared The Hollywood Reporter's Writers Roundtable, a lively discussion centered around the process and challenge of scripting stories for film, be it an original idea or adapting from another source. It was an interesting bunch of writers responsible for some of this years most talked about films including George Clooney and partner Grant Heslov (Monuments Men), Julie Delpey (Before Midnight), Nicole Holofcener (Enough Said), John Ridley (12 Years a Slave) and Danny Strong (Lee Daniel's The Butler). This week I want to share THR's Actors panel. Watch as Stephen Galloway, THR's longtime moderator, facilit…

If you go wandering to Barnesville for a look-see what you won’t find is Adora’s gorgeous Gothic home. The gated mansion sits thousands of miles away in the Redwood Valley area of Mendocino County in California.

The Sharp Objects house: 11535 East Rd, Redwood Valley, CA 95470 The show’s location manager Gregory Alpert told Vulture that director Jean-Marc Vallée “had very specific marching orders for the mansion: “I want a house that if someone was screaming, you would never hear them.”

Alpert was sent photos of the house by the Mendocino County film commission; the 7500 square foot five bedroom, four bathroom home is boasts a foyer with a staircase, formal living and dining rooms, a gourmet kitchen, a breakfast room, a family room, and a home office. The 1,700-acre ranch also features its own nature preserve and 24 miles…

This is the newest poster for The Woman in Black, the film based on the Susan Hill book. It's a big improvement over the last poster featuring the two creepy kids, right? And while I am not a huge Daniel Radcliffe fan (I'm not a hater, just don't care one way or the other) there are millions of people out there who are. Kind of foolish of the filmmakers NOT to promote Daniel's presence in the film! It comes out February 3. Maybe the strategy was to tease us with the scratched out eyes image plus the come on line "What did they see?" and bring it on home with the Fear Her Curse tagline? Here's how Fandango describes the movie:Arthur Kipps (Daniel Radcliffe), recently widowed and still grieving the loss of his wife, is sent to a remote village to put a deceased eccentric's affairs in order. But soon after his arrival, it becomes clear that the villagers are hiding a deadly secret. Kipps discovers that his late client's house is haunted by the spirit…
